here it is, i completed the sub-frame swap to the 3.08L last night. just did the test drive and omfg it is fast. first gear is still a good gear but i couldnt hold the car straight when i hit the gas, had to go to 2nd and a rolling start with the clutch all the way out and the tires slip'd just a lil then off i went. 3rd gear took no time at all, shifted into 4th around 110mph. once the speedo was max'd i hit 5th and coasted back down to 55mph. it makes alot more speed alot faster then what it did before. im just happy that 1rst is still a good gear to use. so imo 3.08L rocks with the 5speed sc
...shifted into 4th around 110mph. once the speedo was max'd i hit 5th...
Am I understanding correctly that you were doing 110 MPH in 3rd gear with 3.08s
I have 3.27s in my SC with 17" tires and I have to hit 5th at max speed of 80-85 right which is redlined on the factory tach.
3rd will only last me to about 55-65 before I redline.
Is there that much difference in 3.08 vs. 3.27?
